🌟JUST SOLD! 🌟
A clear to close doesn't always mean … you're clear to close! 🤔
Friday brought two settlements, both with some crazy twists and turns along the way.
Lender issues delayed one by two months, and the other by two days!
One was a referral in NJ and involved a USDA loan.
The other had received a clear to close 9️⃣ days before settlement, only to have the lender reverse an appraisal waiver and require an appraisal … after all.
Wait, what❕❗️❕We had never heard of this before, ever.
Sellers often ask me, "When can I feel confident that everything is going to close?"
My answer is always the same: Once settlement has occurred.
I just want to give a deep bow to my clients who remained calm and gracious under the circumstances.
A gentle reminder that until settlement is complete, nothing is guaranteed.
It’s not over ‘til it’s over! ✨
